Octavo. 112pp. Sandford's bibliography for the Golden Cockerel Press's output from June 1943 to December 1948 is here accompanied by his archive for the project. Included are checks for raw materials like paper; proofs of the dust wrapper with text in alternative colors; page proofs also on differing papers, one of which was executed as an extended galley and is replete with notes; a mock-up bound in string; various expense ledgers organized according to facet of the enterprise (materials, prospectus, reproductions, and so on); and a typescript of Sandford's foreword. In all, a thorough representation of bibliographic labor and its marriage to the practicalities of actual book production. Archival materials housed in dropback box. Book itself in burgundy cloth over boards showing light marginal sunning and shallow bumps to spine ends, else vg+ in very good dust wrapper. Final version of the prospectus laid in.
